Kubernetes Plugin Installation with Package Manager

CommunityEnterprise

Installation of the Bacula Enterprise Kubernetes Plugin is most easily done by adding the Kubernetes repository from your Bacula Enterprise subscription into the package manager configuration of your Linux distribution.

An example would be /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bacula.list for Debian-based Linux distributions. The contents of this file appear as follows:

# Bacula Enterprise
deb https://www.baculasystems.com/dl/@cust@/debs/bin/@ver@/stretch-64/ bookworm main
deb https://www.baculasystems.com/dl/@cust@/debs/kubernetes/@ver@/stretch-64/ bookworm kubernetes

where “@cust@” is your individual download area identification string found in your Welcome Package.

Subsequently, it is necessary to execute the apt-get update command. Then, the Kubernetes Plugin can be installed using: apt-get install bacula-enterprise-kubernetes-plugin.

On RHEL, extend the repository file for your package manager to contain a section for the plugin - /etc/yum.repos.d/bacula.repo:

[Bacula]
name=Bacula Enterprise
baseurl=https://www.baculasystems.com/dl/@cust@/rpms/bin/@version@/rhel8-64/
enabled=1
protect=0
gpgcheck=1
[Bacula EnterpriseDockerPlugin]
name=Bacula Enterprise Kubernetes Plugin
baseurl=https://www.baculasystems.com/dl/@cust@/rpms/kubernetes/@version@/rhel8-64/
enabled=1
protect=0
gpgcheck=1

Next, perform a yum update to prepare your system, after which you can install the Kubernetes Plugin package by running yum install bacula-enterprise-kubernetes-plugin.

Manual installation of the packages can be performed after downloading the required files from your Bacula Systems download area, and then using the low-level package manager tools (rpm or dpkg) to perform the plugin installation.
